Maine coast: Whale watching

2008.06.19
Finback whale, 2nd largest animal on earth.

Finbacks are not buoyant so there are no dramatics when they dive, they can pretty much sink at will.

'Thar she blows', or something like that.




These images do not convey the true size of these animals... they are like icebergs, only more so.

These are humback whales.








They need to flick the tails to dive.

Heading back in.

Images from a whale watching cruise in Maine a couple of weeks back. A beautiful cool day (it was sweltering on land) and, as demonstrated by these photos, there were plenty whales around.
